Julia Nicoara @tweeting_jules asks the panel : “What hope do you have for the next generation?”
@hannahpudner Director at @United_Purpose replies :

Great evening with @FairTradeWales
☕️ Fairtrade is helping female Ugandan farmers establish economic independence
🍫In the cocoa industry, men can earn 5 times more than women- Fairtrade is tackling this inequality ☕️When you invest in women, you invest in entire communities

💭 Final panel thoughts of the evening include:
“We need to pay more for the well-being of the farmers, coffee or cocoa.”
“If we want a better world, to see change, we have to fight for it.”
Thank you to our panel for sharing their stories 👏🏻👏🏻 Diolch!!

Our first speaker shares her story: “We have girls who drop out of school before they are 18 years old, and we can train them and look after them. I am here and talking to you because of Fairtrade.”

💧 #worldwaterweek: Although more than 70% of our planet is covered by water, only 2,5% is drinkable freshwater. Water is scarce. You can help to save water with #CmiA. CmiA is rainfed only, the crops grow with natural rainfall instead of artifical irrigation. #Waterislife 💙
